E-Waste Program Initiative

Electronic waste, or 'e-waste', describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling, or disposal are also considered e-waste. A large number of what is labeled as "e-waste" is actually not waste at all, but rather whole electronic equipment or parts that are readily marketable for reuse or can be recycled for materials recovery.

CUBEX wants to do our part in responsibly recycling our e-waste.

Currently 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste are disposed of worldwide every year. Only 12% of e-wastes is currently recycled. The company we will be using to pickup our E-waste is ER2. They are also a local company that focuses on helping in the community. One of the programs they run from their facility is to collect scraped computers and refurbish them for reuses. They have a program to help get computers to schools, families, and individuals that may not be able to afford a computer otherwise.
